Beers on the Table

It's the holiday weekend edition of Beers on the Table, and Drew and KB survive the heat wave, break down the Summerfest lineup's final push, and debate who'd make the ultimate wedding band (Bon Jovi road cases at the Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce wedding, anyone?). They also dig into skin cancer scares, untethered heights anxiety, dying radio salaries versus TikTok DJs, and Milwaukee's water-damaged 1976 time capsule. Plus: a foster mom who traded a kid for a monkey earns a brutal "420, What Are You High" verdict

KB flies solo this episode (Drew's embedded with the Brewers) to tackle a hot-button question: is the WNBA drama around Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham actually racism, or something else entirely? He also previews the Travis Kelce–Taylor Swift wedding with outrageous prop bets and a top-five worst wedding gifts list, plus Fourth of July fireworks rants and Summerfest lineup

Drew and KB recap an epic Summerfest Thursday night full of surprise musical discoveries—Walk Off the Earth’s one-guitar wizardry, Porchlight, and Mountain Goats—before breaking down tonight’s Cody Johnson lineup and debating whether Ed Sheeran has "no vibe." They dive into the Brewers' huge lead over the Cubs ahead of a Miz-Woodruff showdown, ponder whether Milwaukee could support a WNBA team post-Giannis, and go all in on WNBA breakout star Sophie Cunningham. Plus: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's no-gifts wedding, six-figure elite kids' summer camps, and a very rough David Lee Roth Summerfest review.

Podcast description

Drew and KB are back with a Summerfest survival guide, half-price beers, and a full rundown of who’s worth seeing—from Old 97’s and Hailstorm to Ed Sheeran and more. Then they dig into the end of the Giannis era, what went wrong with the Bucks, whether Tyler Herro can become Milwaukee’s next star, and why the Brewers might be built for a serious run. Plus: microplastics, World Cup fans discovering American chain restaurants, and a Florida pickleball paddle assault that earns a well-deserved “What Are You High?”

Drew and KB are back for episode 2 of Beers on the Table, working through a few microphone malfunctions and an even bigger question: has America forgotten how to have spontaneous joy?

After a night at Summerfest, the guys wonder why people now sit, scroll, and wait for the “right” act instead of simply wandering in, hearing something great, dancing on a table, and letting the night happen. They also revisit the pre-phone glory days of designated meet-up spots, camping out all day for a prime concert view, and experiencing a festival without documenting every damn second of it.

Plus: the apparent disappearance of live bass players; backing tracks, click tracks, and whether rock and roll needs mistakes; their most memorable Summerfest shows featuring Tina Turner, Tom Petty, Pearl Jam, Jason Isbell, Roy Orbison, the Beach Boys, Eric Clapton, and more; Waze’s deeply questionable “still there/gone” construction reporting; World Cup and Brewers talk; golf’s squeezed major-championship schedule; and another Summerfest scouting report.

They also point you toward Deer Tick, Father John Misty, the Family Stone, Hot Mulligan, Trapper Schoepp, Hailstorm—and the spectacle of David Lee Roth attempting to sing in public. Explicit language.

Drew and KB are back for the first episode of Beers on the Table—unfiltered, unscripted, and finally calling their own shots. Broadcasting from Stately Olson Manor just blocks from Summerfest, they catch up after six months apart and explain how the show found its next life on YouTube.

Beers on the Table has it all: Milwaukee radio war stories, working mornings versus afternoons, the strange sociology of people waiting for the gym to open at 5 a.m., navigating Costco and Pick ’n Save, Brewers talk, the World Cup, baseball uniform numbers, Garth Brooks’ baseball career, and a full Summerfest rundown—including Taylor Acorn, Alejandro Escovedo, Modern English, Echo & the Bunnymen, Passion Pit, and Third Eye Blind.

It’s Drew and KB the way it was always supposed to be: sports, music, Milwaukee, bourbon, bad ideas, and absolutely no management around to screw it up. Explicit language.
